40. We thank all members of the cold-atom group for support and a great team spirit, in particular, we thank the Cs surface trapping team, M. Hammes, D. Rychtarik, and B. Engeser, for fruitful interactions and for sharing the 1064-nm laser; A. Noga for assistance; and J. Hecker Denschlag for useful discussions. We are indebted to R. Blatt and his ion trapping group for support during our start-up phase in Innsbruck. We acknowledge financial support by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) within project P15114 and within SFB 15 (project part 16).
